An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Unfortunately a decent amount of active communities are on lemmy.world – but here are some other cool places from my subbed list:
-
mander.xyz — this place has a lot of nature and science communities; their houseplant community is great, they have a native plant gardening community, a moss community (please join and post more moss!!), and more.
-
sopuli.xyz — they have a map enthusiasts community I like, popular steam deck and meme communities, EDC, and more.
-
slrpnk.net — they have solarpunk and zero waste communities, no lawns, etc.
-
lemmy.zip — has good game specific communities, like Disco Elysium, Hades, Starfield, Diablo, and others
I’ll also recco lemmyverse.net as a great way to browse the communities that are across the fediverse!
Why is lemmy.world having a lot of active communities unfortunate? I'm a bit new here. Is there already drama between communities? Or some other reason, like slow servers or something?
Edit: Just saw that it's defederated. Any reason? I was worried about this being a thing, having to subscribe to other communities and shuffle subscriptions. What a pain. Hope it doesn't happen often.
Beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world for the reasons listed here.
Ah I see. Those are solid reasons, I don't blame them for defederating. Still kinda sucks, I was worried about this being a problem. Having multiple accounts and re-managing subscriptions each time it happens is going to be a nightmare without any centralization. I wonder if it's going to be a barrier for less tech savvy users. I suppose these types of problems can be solved over time.
I personally think people need to be more comfortable with multiple logins for social media, rather than putting everything into a single basket. Improvements to the front end + apps would help with that as well.
